rently applicable national regulations. Consult the
manufacturer if you are unsure of how to proceed.
5.4.3 Liquids
Caustic liquids may leak from defective batteries. Avoid
contact with these liquids. In case of skin contact, wash
the area affected with soap and plenty of water. In case
of eye contact, rinse the eyes immediately with water and
subsequently consult a doctor.
5.5 Requirements to be met by users
a) The tool may be operated, serviced and repaired
only by authorized, trained personnel. This personnel
must be informed of any special hazards that may be
encountered.
b) Concentrate on your work. Stay alert. Pay atten-
tion to what you are doing. Approach the work
with common sense. Do not use the tool if you
are not concentrating.
6 Before use
6.1 Charging the battery pack
Use the PUA 80 charger to charge the PSA 80 battery
pack. Full instructions are contained in the charger oper-
ating instructions. The battery pack must be charged for
14 hours before first use.
6.1.1 Inserting and removing the battery pack
CAUTION
The battery pack must slide easily into the scanner. Do
not use force when inserting the battery pack into the
scanner as this may damage the battery pack and/or the
scanner.
7 Operation
7.1 Carrying and using the system
CAUTION
The temperature inside a motor vehicle exposed to the
heat of the sun can easily exceed the maximum permis-
sible storage temperature for the PS 250 Ferroscan sys-
tem. Some of the components of the PS 250 Ferroscan
system may suffer damage if exposed to temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F).
c) Do not use the tool if it is defective.
d) If you are unsure of the scan results, consult a Hilti
specialist before proceeding.
e) Observe all warning and information messages dis-
played by the scanner and monitor.
5.6 Scanning requirements and limitations
a) Always check the accuracy of the tool before com-
mencing work on structures where measurements
have safety and structural stability implications. Scan
a reinforcing bar of known location, depth and di-
ameter and check the results against the accuracy
specifications.
b) Do not use the PS 200 S scanner if the wheels do
not turn freely or appear to be worn. Contact Hilti for
repair information. The wheels may also be cleaned
or replaced by the user.
c) Always check how the tool is configured before
using it.
d) Apply only light pressure to the scanner when moving
it across the surface.
e) Reinforcement that lies beneath the uppermost layer
of reinforcement may not be detected.
f)
Remove all metal items of jewelry such as rings, pen-
dants, bracelets, etc. before commencing scanning.
Check that the battery pack is correctly aligned with the
scanner. When the battery pack end cap is facing you,
the large groove in the battery pack must be on the left.
Push the battery pack into the opening as far as it will go.
Turn the end cap clockwise until it clicks into place.
To remove the battery pack, turn the end cap anti-
clockwise as far as it will go. Pull the battery pack out of
the scanner.
The scanner can be used without the monitor for scan-
ning, or the monitor can be carried in the PSA 64 soft
pouch. The first option is advantageous when working
in areas that are difficult to access and maximum mo-
bility is required, such as on a scaffold or ladder. When
scanner memory is full (9 Imagescans made, 1 complete
Blockscan or 30 mm (98 ft) of Quickscan have been
recorded) the data can be transferred to the PSA 55
infrared adapter or the PSA 100 monitor. The monitor
